Chapter 50: Chemical Reactions
More than 25,000 people in the Target Center Arena have their eyes glued to the large screen at the top of the arena, as if they want to find evidence of Anthony's guilt from inside.
But when the camera replayed, all Minnesota fans were disappointed.
Anthony's legs didn't move when he was covering, and his body was straight, and the magic was that Jeremy Lin and his shoulder-to-shoulder slicing were just right in time and angle, which was ingenious. 0.1 seconds earlier, Jeremy Lin would have been on top of Anthony, and 0.1 second late, Lin might have been overtaken by Anthony.
In short, at the most inopportune and least desirable moment, Rubio appeared on Anthony's right shoulder. Like a moth to a fire, Shi Niang threw herself into the lake, and it was gone.
Although Anthony's elbow is not as high as Marlon's elbow on the weapon spectrum, it is also a ranking lethal weapon on the rivers and lakes, and even more than Saddam's gas bomb.
The Minnesota Timberwolves, who swallowed their anger, directly applied for substitutions and helped Rubio, who was diagnosed with a mild concussion, off the court for treatment.
The Timberwolves, who have lost their main organizational guard, are like lone wolves who have lost their eyes, looking lonely and hesitant, pitiful and desolate on the court. Jose Barria was clearly unable to carry the Timberwolves, and Kevin Love lost his ammunition delivery and had to force his shot.
Obviously, in Adelman's tactical system, the broken link is like a lame rabbit that can't jump a few times.
And the Knicks, under the leadership of Anthony and Jeremy Lin, had full erection, had a powerful impact, and bravely knocked on the hurdles, and smashed the Yellow Dragon. Especially in the eyes of fans and reporters, Jeremy Lin and Anthony suddenly had chemistry.
"Look at this combination, Jeremy Lin broke through the Timberwolves' defenders in a row, alas, it was too deep! The field of vision is blocked, how can you pass the ball, it's a bit blind, if it's Sun Yue. Oh, look, Jeremy Lin suddenly passed the ball and wore the gear with his eyes closed, so imaginative! Anthony ran right into this position. This ball is too tacit, a model of the combination of passing and running, textbook movements, fans who are familiar with the old Jazz team know the cooperation of Stockton and Malone, and this ball still has such a flavor. Reasonable, reasonable! "CCAV's Coach Zhang was just about to coach Jeremy Lin, but he didn't expect the Knicks' playing style to be on Coach Zhang's itchy flesh, and in his opinion, this ball has to be handled like this to be reasonable.
"Good ball, this ball passed just right, it seems that Jeremy Lin played with confidence. Although Lin's crazy statistics are crazy in these games, there are still many defenders who have a little criticism about Jeremy Lin's passing, thinking that he needs to improve in passing timing and skills, but we look at this ball, the floor hits, the ball passes through Pekovic's crotch, and the height of the bounce is just right to meet the inserted Anthony, Cameron volleys, oh, I'm sorry, Cameron tomahawk slammed and roared. "The famous football commentator Huang Jianxiang was invited by a certain wave of sports stations, and he was a little off track.
"Cameron, Cameron! This ball can definitely be selected as one of the top five goals of the day. "The broadcast media across the United States were impressed by the wonderful goal and praised the tacit understanding of the goal.
But it didn't take long for them to find that they didn't have enough words.
In the Knicks' offense, Jeremy Lin dribbled so fast that he threw the ball to the rebound almost without looking at anyone, and the ball was so fast and flat that Kevin Love, who was already ready to defend under the basket, didn't have time to jump. Just as Lefu stretched out his arms and stood on tiptoe to prepare to take the ball next, a blue lightning flashed from the bottom line, hugged the basketball, and made a wonderful aerial relay dunk!
"Cameron!" George of New York Sports suddenly stood up excitedly, almost revealing his Knicks version of his blue shorts.
And Anthony reciprocated, and when he broke through to the crowd inside, a precision-guided pass passed from everyone's arms and legs to Jeremy Lin outside the three-point line. Xiao Linzi even had time to smile at the defenders who were rushing towards him, and raised his hand to hit.
The Knicks closed the score to 4 points in 4 rounds! Three of them were Anthony and Jeremy Lin's collaboration.
The audience was impressed by the coquettish dunks and three-pointers of the two, and the few Knicks fans were like blue prince fish in the white lake at the moment, chasing and playing in the water, causing countless waves.
Adelman quickly called a timeout, and at the same time motioned to the team doctor who was massaging Rubio to speed up, and the Timberwolves players on the court were a little overwhelmed.
The little golden boy Rubio endured the discomfort and put on the battle again. The little golden boy who shook his head thought to himself, buddy, this is also a work-related injury period, and it is also mandatory to be introduced, what if this is not a sequelae.
On the other hand, the Knicks are very popular. All the team members congratulated Jeremy Lin and Anthony for their two guns. There's nothing more gratifying to a team sport than a team playing together.
"Well done!" Woodson congratulated the squad on the pitch, after all, the chemistry is the most exciting thing for the team.
"Good fit!" Wang Xiaomu congratulated Anthony and Jeremy Lin, after all, it is the happiest thing for them to have a tacit understanding between their hearts.
Anthony was also very excited, and all the other defenders who were able to enjoy these just right passes except for the one he could enjoy when playing with LeBron James did not make him feel so comfortable receiving the ball. He even hugged Jeremy Lin's head and rubbed it vigorously, which frightened Wang Xiaomu, who was paying attention to them on the side, a little weak.
Jeremy Lin, who was wiping his sweat with a white towel, also felt that he had a lot of tacit understanding with Anthony, as if he didn't need to deliberately observe Anthony's position when he played on the court, just by feeling it, he knew where Cameron would appear and what kind of passing and help he needed.
I am afraid that this kind of tacit understanding and understanding would not have been possible without three or five years of running-in.
It's amazing! Anthony and Jeremy Lin looked at Wang Xiaomu differently, full of admiration, full of love, and full of strangeness.
This time, it was the turn of Wang Xiaomu, the initiator, to feel as uncomfortable as eating a dead fly.
But don't have side effects, or buddy would rather kill you two by mistake than let one go. Wang Xiaomu swallowed his saliva fiercely and quickly pushed the two to the center of the field.
Back on the court, Kevin Love came up with a three-point miss.
And the Knicks' offensive wave of high tide has obviously not passed, and the afterglow is still lingering. Jeremy Lin shoots, Anthony rushes to grab the rebound; Anthony shoots, and Jeremy Lin rushes to the basket.
The Knicks had two consecutive chances to tie the score.
After all, this is the home stadium of the Timberwolves, and the fans in the stadium let out a landslide shout under the leadership of the DJ on the court to cheer for the home team. Nearly 20,000 home fans sang the Minnesota Timberwolves team song in unison, although the song is no longer melodious, but it is like an iron pipa on the battlefield, full of high morale and courage, so that every audience in the target center court is enthusiastic, and feels the arrogance of the wolf king and the fear of death of the wolves.
Maybe it's the ambiguity of the two that even the heavens are jealous, maybe someone is jealous, looking at the two of them being in love, Chandler was a little stunned, but when he was defending, the boxing champion actually used an indiscriminate full-coverage move of upside down weeping willows, and was directly sentenced to a foul on jishu.
Love hit a free throw and then scored a dunk on the offense that got possession of the ball.
In order to ensure Zuihou's physical strength in the first section, Wang Xiaomu replaced Anthony at the break.
Just when Jeremy Lin thought that he had made a great pass and could stab anyone in the throat when he fed the ball, he made two passing errors in a row. Sam Porter, who received Wang's second pass, was even shocked that Jeremy Lin would pass the ball to him.
The shock turned out to be that the Timberwolves seized the opportunity, hitting two shots from afar, one near and one close, and before the end of the third quarter, once again stretched the score to five points.
Fortunately, Wang Xiaomu had expected this situation for a long time, and used the break time between the holidays to arrange the team's tactics, so that Jeremy Lin and Anthony could rest at the same time.
"Four minutes, three and a half minutes! I'm asking you to give Cameron and Jeremy Lin enough rest, and as you can see, as long as the two of them are on the court, it's the Knicks rhythm on the court. So the team needs you to play well at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Although the score was temporarily behind, Wang Xiaomu already felt that the goddess of victory, who seemed to have a cold expression, was secretly hooking her little finger at him.
The first 4 minutes of the fourth quarter of the game were the most tragic 4 minutes of the two sides, and the main forces of both sides were saving blood off the court and fighting hard for the Zuihou juncture of the game.
On the bench on the court, although the shooting rate of both sides is not high, the Timberwolves' side: Wayne Ellington, Michael Beasley, Jose Juan Barria The three-pole musketeers put down their weapons and returned to the field, and started the blacksmith business;
On the Knicks' side: Mike Bibby, Steve Novak, and Jared Jeffries squirmed like a new daughter-in-law who saw her in-laws on the first day, unable to stretch her hands, unable to open her legs, and lost her soul on the court.
In the face of the non-call of their respective players, the heads of the two sides were in different moods.
Adelman's face was silent, but his palms were sweating;
Although Wang Xiaomu smiled on the surface, he was also very anxious in his heart. Up to now, his transformation of the Knicks has come to an end, Jeremy Lin is both empowerment and purification, basketball IQ and physical fitness are basically there, just rely on one polish after another, Anthony himself is a very hard worker, it can be seen from the fact that he spends money to hire professional coaches for one-on-one training every summer, so what he lacks is cooperation with other members of the team. At the moment, at least he and Jeremy Lin have reacted.
Judging from the team's current 4 minutes, Wang Xiaomu feels that there is a long way to go, and the old Chinese medicine doctor has a motto for curing diseases: see the light but not the good. But Wang Xiaomu thought about how to remove the roots of the Knicks's laziness, see the red bayonet, and build an invincible battleship from the bones.
